Getting to Know: Winecraft Gold Smokebush - Summer 2024

On a walk around the formal garden at the Morton Arboretum (the one behind the visitor center), we spotted this chartreuse shrub that was LITERALLY standing out.  It called to be looked-at.  And, that's what we did - wandering over and having a look.  I snapped this photo below - showing the bright shrub amongst some white Goatsbeard (or something similar):

I filed it away.  Interesting shrub.

Then, on a recent trip to The Growing Place, I came across the very shrub - 3# containers for $50.  See below:

This is something I could use in a few spots - in full sun.  Note to self:  See if they survive until the end-of-the-season sales.
